Fear Street interview: Gillian Jacobs, Ashley Zukerman, Darrell Britt-Gibson

Last Updated on July 30, 2021

Last week, our own JimmyO had the chance to interview Fear Street trilogy cast members Kiana Madeira, Olivia Scott Welch, and Benjamin Flores Jr., and now he has interviewed another trio of cast members, Gillian Jacobs, Ashley Zukerman, and Darrell Britt-Gibson. You can watch their conversation in the video embedded above!

Netflix's Fear Street "film trilogy event" began with the release of Fear Street Part 1: 1994 last Friday and continues with the release of Fear Street Part 2: 1978 today. The trilogy will wrap up with Fear Street Part 3: 1666 next Friday. You can read The Iceman's review of 1994 at THIS LINK, and my review of 1978 over HERE.

Director Leigh Janiak shot all three films back-to-back-to-back. She also co-wrote each of the movies, crafting the story for part 1 with Kyle Killen and Phil Graziadei and part 2 with Graziadei and Zak Olkewicz. Janiak then wrote part 1 with Graziadei, part 2 with Olkewicz, and part 3 with Graziadei and Kate Trefry. The synopsis:

In 1994, a group of teenagers discovers that the terrifying events that have haunted their town for generations may all be connected — and that they may be the next targets. Based on R.L. Stine’s best selling horror series, the trilogy follows the nightmare through Shadyside’s sinister history.

The trilogy was produced by Peter Chernin, Jenno Topping, and David Ready. Kori Adelson produced 1666 and executive produced the other two. Janiak executive produced the trilogy with Timothy M. Bourne, Yvonne M. Bernard, Joan Waricha, and Jane Stine.

In these films, Jacobs plays C. Berman, the survivor of a massacre at Camp Nightwing in 1978; Zukerman is Sheriff Nick Goode, who was also present for the Nightwing massacre when he was a teenager; and Britt-Gibson is Martin, the janitor at the Shadyside Mall.
